A spike in memory usage was observed in a .NET web API after a batch deployment, despite no changes to the core logic.
The increase in memory allocations and Gen 0 collections led to latency issues, highlighting the importance of optimizing API performance.
The article discusses the journey into building zero-allocation .NET APIs for improved performance without resorting to advanced features like Unsafe or Span.
The focus was on making smarter coding choices to reduce memory overhead and improve predictability in high-throughput services.
